"Why don't you act according to the plan we discussed before? Why did you change the requirements temporarily??"
Several matrons of the Drow Federation already had disagreements on their way back. Lillian and Deborah stood together with unkind eyes and sent out the words they had been holding in their hearts for a long time to the demigod matron Pernilai. question.
“Hmph, you guys with no eyesight, I really don’t want to deal with you!!!”
Facing the glares from multiple pairs of eyes, Pernilai glanced around from left to right and said contemptuously.
"Didn't you realize that when Bugbear Allen broke my magic, his strength was far beyond what we knew about him?"
"Do you really think he used some secret technique or drank some potion??"
"what do you mean?"
"What I mean is that the weather in the north is going to change a lot in the future!!"
Pernilai seems to be very casual and relaxed, but in fact she is also very depressed inside. Allen's promotion not only disrupted Drow's plan, but the subsequent impact is definitely not just as simple as having a strong demigod in the north.
The five major Drow city-states are independent of each other. Although on the surface they have formed a Hosea Federation to unite with the outside world, in fact they are on guard against each other and are always wary of other city-states extending their tentacles into their own territory. Even though Pernilai has the power of a demigod, she cannot fully control the overall situation in the Federation. If she really harms the interests of other city-states, other matrons will inevitably turn against her on the spot.
When they really need to fight, the matrons of each family have their trump cards, and they may not be afraid of the existence of the demigod Pernilai.
But the wilderness is different. Although they are loose on the surface and do their own thing like the drow, in the bones of these natives they still envy and admire the strong, and the mechanism of the Mansa Alliance also has various effects on the strong and their tribes. Preferential treatment, if someone can be promoted to demigod, it will definitely attract a group of wilderness tribes and form a powerful circle of influence.
This is an indisputable fact. The existence of the four pillars of the alliance and the fact that their four tribes are far more powerful than other tribes are ironclad proof.
"You mean, Allen, that bugbear, may have broken through the demigod bottleneck??"
Deborah, who had already been suspicious, hesitated to give an answer.
"It seems that not everyone has no eyesight!!"
Pernilai gave the charming Deborah a wink and nodded to acknowledge the other party's suspicion.
"This is impossible!!"
"No way……"
Lillian, Ashley and others looked at each other and said in surprise.
"From your tone, it seems that you doubt my judgment??"
Pernilai's pretty face darkened, and she looked at the few people with pity.
"...We just feel that this incident is too sudden."
"If this bugbear hadn't broken through while fighting me, I might not have been able to tell with certainty. Of course, I have much more experience than you in the feeling of the demigod level."
"Think about it for yourselves, if this Bugbear really breaks through the demigod bottleneck, what changes might happen to the North in the future."
"Then why didn't you just kill this bugbear then??"
Lillian was still unwilling to give in, her eyes flashed with coldness.
"Do you think I haven't tried it? It's not like you haven't seen the power of the demigod-level spells I cast. At that time, the bugbear resisted the attacks of more than a dozen destructive lightning strikes from my Doomsday Thunder, and he survived. , none of my remaining methods are more lethal than this destructive lightning!!"
"Not to mention that we were on someone else's territory at the time. If they noticed something was wrong and hid in the city, do you think a dozen of us could really kill everyone?"
Pernilai retorted unceremoniously.
"So, a temporary concession is necessary. At least don't make the relationship between us too rigid. Anyway, the troll Yarel has turned to us now. There are ways to slowly achieve our goals."
"But everyone should also think more about it. If this bugbear really becomes a demigod, and the tribes in the north are twisted into a rope under his methods, how should we deal with it!!"
"If we continue to be at odds with each other, I'm afraid we won't be as comfortable facing a united Ring of Thorns forces in the future!!"
Although Allen's advancement made Pernilai feel a bit threatened, the demigod mistress, who was very deep in the city, quickly thought of using this opportunity to try to integrate the loose system of the Federation.
"Grrrr, I don't think so. Being promoted to a demigod is not something that happens in a while. There is still time for us to plan carefully."
Siya's eyes were clear and she replied with a smile.
"Indeed, he is just a demigod!!"
Several other matrons and priests reacted equally quickly and nodded in response.
"Heh, it's up to you."
Pernilai is not in a hurry. The final development direction of the matter will eventually determine who is right and who is wrong. When everyone feels the pressure, they will naturally figure it out.
"It's not impossible to find some trouble for this Bugbear!!"
Lillian frowned slightly and said in a deep tone.
"The big guys in the wilderness tribe may not really want to see this bugbear promoted. If the news is told to them..."
"It seems that you and I have the same idea, but on the way here, I have arranged for people to go south to spread the news. I guess they have arrived in Mansha City by now."
Penile seemed to admire Lillian, but in fact there was a glimmer of murderous intent looming deep in her bright eyes. Although the other mistresses were not economical lamps, the mistress in front of her had always been her biggest opponent. Although the opponent was not as powerful as herself, she The 'that one' in the city-state is enough to offset this gap, not to mention that the other party has wisdom that is no less than his own.
"..."
The other matrons had different faces. Anyway, everyone had always been wary of this demigod, but they didn't seem so surprised and awed by the other party's first move at this time.
In Mansha City, the tribal contact points of the four pillars of the alliance received a letter one after another from an unknown person. The content of the letter shocked the leaders of the four tribes at the contact point, and they rushed back to their tribes with the letters in person. .
In the parliament area of the inner city, in a majestic castle like a temple, the lights are brightly lit, and the patrolling guards are fully armed and heavily guarded.
This is the place where the titular presidents of the parliament who guard Mansha City go about their daily lives. A hobgoblin took advantage of the cover of night and hurriedly entered from the wide road in front of the gate. He was stopped by several groups of soldiers for inspection along the way. , and will not be released until the identity is confirmed to be correct.
"Sir, this is the letter we found in the crack of the courtyard door this evening."
The great goblin manager Qiao Lin knelt on the cold marble floor tremblingly, not daring to raise his head.
"Do you know who sent it?"
In the middle of the spacious hall, the demigod Ma Wen, who had just been disturbed by someone, had a solemn look on his face and a deep tone.
"...I don't know."
"Trash, people have even touched your doorstep, and no one has noticed. What's the use of raising you!!!"
Marvin was furious. His violent voice and the power of the demigod suddenly appeared like an invisible sharp blade, directly piercing the body and mind of the great goblin Qiao Lin. Two green lines slowly flowed down from his big nostrils, and a few drops of nosebleeds On the stone slab.
Qiao Lin was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He suppressed his trembling movements and did not dare to move, struggling to withstand the overwhelming pressure.
After venting his anger, Marvin fell into deep contemplation.
Being of the same lineage as goblins, it is said that the rise of Alan, the bugbear, and his tribe should be a good thing for the entire goblin clan. But in Marvin's view, Allen's rise is more of a threat to him and their tribe, and it is also harmful to the interests of their tribe.
The Yucatan tribe is famous among the wilderness goblins. The biggest reason is the existence of Marvin, a demigod. The wilderness natives worship the strong, and the goblins are the most popular among them.
Ultimately, it is the limitations of the goblins' own strength and talents that make it difficult for them to survive. The three branches of goblins each have their own strengths, but they also have their own shortcomings. Bugbears and hobgoblins are physically strong, and their combat talents are among the top three in the wilderness. However, their reproductive capabilities are not as good as those of kobolds. Humans, gnolls, and dwarfs are clever and good at learning. However, their physical fitness directly lowers the overall ranking of the goblins. They are called the weakest existence among the wilderness tribes. Fortunately, they have strong fertility and can have many children. This is the most frequent situation, and it is in sharp contrast to bugbears and hobgoblins.
If such a race with obvious advantages and disadvantages can be integrated into a whole, it will naturally complement each other and develop and reproduce more smoothly. It's just a pity that although the three goblin branches share the same ancient bloodline, the differences in appearance and individual strength make them have an obvious chain of contempt. It is easy to negotiate peace if they want to integrate and unify.
Only strong goblins who appear due to genetic mutations can unite the scattered goblin branches to form a stable and powerful tribe, leading the goblins to stand tall and proud in front of the sight of other wilderness natives.
The existence of Marvin, a demigod, is the pride of the goblins. Among the hundreds of millions of natives in the entire wilderness, there are only four native demigods. What a glorious thing it is.
Because of Marvin's status in the hearts of the goblins, many outstanding goblins in the Yucatan tribe took the initiative to defect to the tribe, even if they did not deliberately search for talents. They were proud to be members of Marvin's tribe.
Now there is suddenly an additional goblin demigod. For Marvin, who is used to being the focus of the goblins, he will no longer be a unique existence in the eyes of the goblins. There will be one more person for the goblins to pursue the strong in the future.
Moreover, this new advanced demigod will inevitably set foot in the Alliance Council and establish his own circle of influence. The four-legged separate alliance camp that has already reached a balance will be turbulent in the future. After everything is restored to balance, the Yucatan family will definitely be the most affected.
More than half of Yucatan's influence in the alliance comes from other goblin members, and the main reason why they are willing to get close to the Yucatan tribe is that these goblin leaders do it for the sake of their own blood. Will choose Marvin's side.
But if there is another demigod goblin as a choice, these goblin tribes may not support Marvin and his tribe as before.
"This damn guy!!"
Regardless of how amiable Marvin was in front of Allen before, it was because he did not think that Allen could be promoted to demigod. At least at Allen's current age, there was almost no such possibility. This made Marvin's This newly-minted bugbear did not receive enough attention, which saved Allen a lot of trouble and risks.
"Now, immediately, activate the secret agents planted in the green field by the clan and let them find out Allen's movement track!!"
"yes!!"
After receiving the order, Qiao Lin quickly climbed up from the ground and slipped out of this majestic castle as if he had been granted amnesty.
At some point, Marvin had a dagger in his hand that reflected dark blue light in the light, constantly appearing and disappearing between the five fingers of his right hand. Marvin, with murderous intent in his eyes, was hesitant in his heart, as if he had not yet completely decided on a certain idea.
The empty castle hall was eerily quiet. Just as the surrounding lights flickered suddenly, the dwarf demigod assassin Marvin, who was sitting high on the gorgeous and majestic chair, suddenly disappeared.
In the Pale Forest, which is only a thousand miles away from Mansha City, the most powerful existence among the wilderness natives-Dragon Veined Warlock Davinson had no expression on his face. The urgently sent secret message in his hand followed his two... Rubbing it with his fingers, it turned into a ball of sparks that flickered.
Next to him is the legendary shield warrior Koius who was born in the seventh generation of his direct bloodline. Although he only has the strength of the legendary mid-level, he can rely on the shadow of his great-grandfather Davinson to secure his position as the leader of the super clan Pale Night. .
Below Davinson and Koius, there were 7-8 legendary kobolds who remained in the clan, among whom Cozmer was a familiar face.
"Cozmo, tell me, what happened in the end when you went north to find Allen, the bugbear?"
Davinson looked at the legends of the clan below, and finally settled on Cosmo, whose breath was unstable.
"Sir, we..."
When he heard his name coming out of the mouth of Davinson, a strong man who was as imperceptible as the abyss, Cozmo's face darkened at that time. He quickly walked out of the team, bowed his head and recounted what happened before. Come.
"Okay, such a big thing happened, and I still need to know these things from outsiders. As an elder of the clan and a person involved in the incident, you didn't report to me what happened. It seems that you didn't report it to me. This old guy like me takes it seriously!!"
"Don't dare!! Sir, I definitely didn't mean this. I just thought that this matter was thousands of miles away from my tribe and would not have a big impact..."
"Hmph!! I think you are too wild-tempered. In this case, I will help you calm down and go into seclusion in a black cave for thirty years!!!"
"grown ups!!!"
"roll!!!"
…………
In the distant Deep Mark Valley, White Bone City, the main city of the Black Meteor Rotten Bone Tribe, one of the four major tribes in the alliance, is hidden in its deep basin. The leader of the tribe, the demigod Bricken, has deep eyes and a mysterious smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth: "This wilderness It’s getting more and more lively!!”
The troll demigod 'Thorn of Eternal Night' Yalian of the Bogard tribe frowned and discussed the newly received urgent secret message with his confidants, his face serious.
